"Jay!" Mal called, jogging toward her friend.
"Hey, Mal," Jay greeted. "What's up?"
"You busy?" Mal asked.
"Well, not anymore—"
"Good. I need your help." Mal did her signature smirk.

Evie was silently sorting out the clothes students from Auradon Prep ordered for Cotillion when the door opened, making her stop and turn around.
"Evie—"
"Doug, I'm sorry." Evie tackled Doug for a hug. He chose not to protest and hugged back.
"S-sorry for what?" Doug asked, confused.
Evie fought back her tears. "I... I'm not happy with this relationship anymore..."
Doug froze. "Evie...?"
"Yes. I know it's only been months, but I just don't think I can keep going with this..." Evie's voiced cracked. "I'm breaking up with you. I'm sorry."
A tear fell from Doug's cheek.
"B-but we'll still be friends, right?"
Evie managed a small smile and nodded.
"I just hope you'll be truly happy again." Doug smiled back.
Evie hugged him again.
When the two let go, Doug said, "Well, I'm still your partner for Cotillion."
"Wait, you're right... wouldn't that be awkward? I mean, we're not—"
"Hey, it's gonna be okay."
"One last dance, then."

"Where is that Snowball?" Mal muttered.
"Right there." Jay pointed straight ahead, and there was Carlos, sitting with Jane and holding Dude.
"Come on," Mal said, walking to them. Jay followed.
Dude noticed the two villain kids and said, "Ahem. You have company."
"Oh. H-hi Mal! And Jay," Carlos quickly greeted, not expecting to see them.
"Yo, Jane." Mal chewed on her bubblegum. "Mind if we kinda borrow Carlos for a while?"
"Uh, no, go ahead." Jane smiled nervously.
Mal grabbed Carlos by the arm and walked off with him and Jay.
"Hey, ow," Carlos said after Mal let go of him.
"You got a girlfriend now?" she asked.
"Well, Jane and I haven't started dating yet, but I was planning to ask—"
"Don't ruin my day." Mal glared at him.
"What are you talking about?" Carlos looked completely confused.
"Mal here is trying to say—"
"Shut up, blabbermouth!" Mal yelled before Jay could explain.
"...anyway," Mal said, calming down. "Carlos, do you really like Jane?"
"Wait, what kind of interrogation is this—?"
"Or are you just asking her out because... you wanna move on?" Jay added up.
Carlos fell speechless.
Finally, he managed to speak. "Is there a point to this?"
"Yes. Now, be honest," Mal demanded.
Carlos sighed.
"My answer is both," he said. "I wanted to move on, and I found Jane."
Silence.
"Hey, did y'all know that I was just listening to your entire conversation this whole time?" Dude asked. Carlos almost dropped him because of surprise.
"You're impossible, Dude."
